I do not think "it's a good feature to have" was a question from the beginning. Thread [1] stopped with me saying "as long as >(N) can be used as Duy claims as a workaround to get the original behaviour, it is good to allow using >|(N) for this new output format; I didn't check if >(N) does behave that way, though". What was necessary to resurrect the patch was "Yes, >(N) can be used that way and here is a test" or something like that. > The second patch adds negative column specifier to >|() and friends. > A positive number 'n' specifies the n-th column from the left border > of the screen, '-n' specifies the n-th column from the _right_ border. That is quite nice enhancement. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
